This is a place we had been wanting to get to but seemed we never had enough time. BUt even if we had it sure would not be as fun as it was being there with Nora.
The National Aquarium at Baltimore is a fantastic aquarium, it ranks in the top on my list. Not quite the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, but it is a great place nonetheless. It has a really nice layout where you wander up ramps to the numerous levels of exhibits.
The highlights are the large shark and ray tank, the dolphin show and the indoor rain forest. The price is very reasonable and the place is great for kids.
Another big plus is the location. It is set right in the heart of the inner harbor in Downtown Baltimore, on the water. The inner Harbor is a large area with shops, museums, activities, pubs and restaurants. It has been developed into a great family destination.
